Liberal Democrats We must protect this important institution







Dear John,

On this day in 1948, the NHS was founded.

75 years later, it remains as important as ever to all of us.

Our fantastic NHS staff treat more than a million people a day, dispense
almost a billion prescriptions a year, and kept us safe throughout the Covid
pandemic by administering more than 150 million vaccines.

I count myself amongst the majority of people who say the NHS makes them
proud to be British.

But sadly, despite this, every area of the NHS is under strain and it is in
such a state that many fear for its survival.

People are struggling to get an appointment with their GP

, and those that cannot afford it are now often forced to turn toDIY dentistry

.





Let’s be clear though, this isn’t due to strikes or inefficiency as the
Conservatives might want us to believe, or a fundamental issue with the NHS’s
founding principles.

These are the symptoms of years of mismanagement and incompetence from this
Conservative Government.

They have overseen the NHS almost with a lack of interest, and even when they
do kick into gear, they bring forward short-term sticking plasters or schemes
that are either too late or completely ineffectual.

High-quality healthcare, free at the point of use, is essential for individual
freedom and good health gives people the freedom to live their lives as they
choose.

And that’s why as Liberals we have always championed the NHS.





The next election will give us a real chance to show the country what the
Conservative’s dereliction of duty means for their health, and what our plans
are to do something about it.

We have several campaigns fighting to protect and enhance our NHS - will you
back them today?

You can hear why the NHS is so important to me and what I would like the NHS
to look like in the coming years in my video tribute to the NHS here:

The Liberal Democrats are proud to be champions of the NHS and we will always
fight to ensure that the care everyone receives is based on their need, not
their ability to pay.





Best wishes,
Daisy Cooper MP (she/her)
Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats,
Health & Social Care Spokesperson
